Another lovely, pampering gift of touch is a manicure or pedicure (or both!). Again, if you don’t have time to do it yourself give them a gift certificate to a salon or spa but make sure it includes a generous amount of massage!
Giving a manicure or pedicure is an opportunity to literally reach out and touch someone. Even better is to double your fun by giving each other manicures and pedicures. Take the lead by inviting your friend or loved one over for a pampering home spa treatment, or pick up all the accessories you need and bring the spa treatment to them. This is also a great way for couples to connect and bond.
Try our Hand & Foot Care Gift Set. It contains a nail or foot brush to clean the nails and get into those hard to reach places; a bag of aromatherapy bath salts; a small bottle of aromatherapy body oil that can be mixed with a handful of the bath salt to make an exfoliating nail and cuticle scrub; a small bottle of aromatherapy liquid soap to rinse off when you’re done grooming, and a small bottle of aromatherapy lotion to moisturize your hands and feet. Available in 5 different aromatherapy blends, you can pick one you know you will both enjoy. I like the Refresh blend because of leaves you feeling minty fresh and tingly!
Other tools you’ll need are a nail clipper, diamond nail file or emery boards, a cuticle stick to push back the cuticles after soaking them and a cuticle remover in case they need some scaling back. Avoid the toxic nail polish and use a nail buffing kit instead for a natural gloss that looks like it was painted on.
